Follow live coverage of CIR's Dissection event in Washington, D.C.

Welcome to live coverage of CIR's Dissection D: Impact, a workshop devoted to deepening our understanding of media impact, how to measure it and why it matters. Over the course of two days in Washington, D.C., participants will share strategies and tools for tracking and assessing impact.

Following Dissection C at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York earlier this week, this event will put special focus on the impact of public broadcast media. Our staff also will be on hand to discuss the results we've seen from our ongoing investigations into veterans' issues.
